New to a challenge? Here's how to add it to PropFirm Sync so you can track your rules, finances, and progress from the start.
How to Create a New Challenge
Step 1: Go to your PropFirm Sync dashboard by clicking the Flag icon in the left sidebar, or navigate directly to app.tradezella.com/challenges.
Step 2: Click + Track prop firm account button.
Step 3: Enter your Challenge nickname.
Step 4: Search for and select your Funding firm.
If your firm is supported, choose which challenge you're trading — the rules will be automatically filled in based on your selection. Proceed to Step 6.
If your firm isn't supported yet, type the funding firm name manually and proceed to Edit Rules to fill in your challenge details yourself.
How to Edit Rules
Step 5: Click Edit rules to configure your prop firm account rules.
Start by entering your Balance amount (account size), or select a preset — 25K, 50K, 75K, 100K, 150K, or 200K.
Then set the following rules for Step 1:
Minimum trading days
Trading period end (days) — Or check Unlimited if there's no time limit
Profit target — Enter as % or $
Max daily loss — Enter as % or $
Max drawdown — Select the drawdown type (Static, EOD, or Trailing) and enter as % or $
Best Day Consistency Target — If your firm has this rule, enter the % threshold (e.g., your best profitable day must be below 50% of your total profit)
If you have a 2-step challenge, fill in the Step 2 rules as well. If Step 2 uses the same rules as Step 1, click Same rules as Step 1 to copy them over automatically.
Then fill in your Funding rules:
Max daily loss
Minimum trading days
Max drawdown
Best Day Consistency — If applicable
If the Funding phase uses the same rules as Step 1, click Same rules as Step 1 to copy them over automatically.
Click Done when finished.
Step 6: Enter the remaining challenge details:
Strategies — Optional, but recommended for analytics
Evaluation fee + Activation fee
Account phase — Evaluation or Funded
Account status — Active or Breached
Number of steps — 1 Step or 2 Steps
Account Setup
Step 7: Under Account Setup, select Automatic accounts. A new TradeZella account will be created automatically for each step.
💡 Please note: Selecting Automatic accounts will create a new TradeZella account and add it to your tracking dashboard automatically.
If you select Customize accounts, you'll need to select from your existing added accounts. For a detailed walkthrough, check out this article: How to Connect Your Existing TradeZella Account to PropFirm Sync?
Step 8: Search for and select your Broker.
Step 9: Enter your Start date and Quantity (if you purchased more than one of the same challenge, e.g., 5 accounts).
Step 10: Click the Create challenge button.
Your new prop firm account is now added to PropFirm Sync. You can start tracking your rules, finances, and performance right away!
